i did make the mistake of watching a movie on netflix recently. it was about a sad indian math genius and jeremy irons makes him come to england because he's in love with him but jeremy irons keeps forgetting to make sure that the math genius has anything to eat so the math genius starves and dies.
believe me, it will be NOTHING but t.v. shows on netflix for a very long time.

I watched the Rachel Dolezal doc while exercising. I didn't think it would happen, but I felt bad for her.
― Yerac, Saturday, 12 May 2018 14:30 (six years ago) link
I felt bad for her, then I didn't
mostly felt bad for the kids

Amazon Prime has a slightly better selection of movies, incl some older ones but I mostly get my classic movies fix dvr’d on Turner Classics
― Squeaky Fromage (VegemiteGrrl), Saturday, 12 May 2018 17:19 (six years ago) link
don’t think it works outside the uk but the free bfi add on to prime is a+
― Fizzles, Saturday, 12 May 2018 17:22 (six years ago) link
it's not free!
― Heavy Messages (jed_), Saturday, 12 May 2018 17:51 (six years ago) link
or it's no longer free, that's for sure. it's £4.99 per month
ah. still v worthwhile imo.
― Fizzles, Saturday, 12 May 2018 17:52 (six years ago) link
(i don’t think it can ever have been free my bad)

If anyone has any advice on how to deal with this problem in Canada, I would be very appreciative

Xps I watched the dolezal doc too and came away feeling about the same as you. There were points where I felt like she truly believes and experiences being “trans racial” but then hearing the anecdotes from her African American colleague about how she always had to one-up people when it came to experiencing racism - that was telling. In the end, I felt 50/50 on how sincere she was, but as a non-Black person I also don’t feel qualified to have a strong opinion on her sincerity. The kids definitely suffered the worst.

I am enjoying Santa Clarita Diet. I like that they are short episodes and that it got right to the grossness.

13 Reasons Why S2 was intense then
― imago, Thursday, 24 May 2018 23:58 (five years ago) link
also pretty good, although i'm still not sold on Clay (actor or character)
― imago, Thursday, 24 May 2018 23:59 (five years ago) link
Not watched that yet but looking forward to it despite the middling reviews

time-travelling adventure tv show timeless turned out to be way more enjoyable than i was expecting

i started watching it when it first aired & couldnt hang . i couldnt get past the handwavey timewimeyness. i was on the phone to the Department of Temporal Investigations after like 2 episodes lol
― Squeaky Fromage (VegemiteGrrl), Saturday, 26 May 2018 21:29 (five years ago) link
it def gets better! and the timeywimeyness leads to some interestingly weirdo situations as time gets increasingly fucked as the show goes along
― i am fast and full of teeth. i willl die in a barn fire (bizarro gazzara), Saturday, 26 May 2018 22:06 (five years ago) link
also the casting folks do a fantastic job of finding unfamiliar and really talented character actors to play the supporting parts each episode

13 Reasons Why season 2 was infuriating but I will still watch it if season 3 comes out. The actor that plays Clay has a definite Ross Gellar/Ted Mosby unlikeability vibe.
― Yerac, Saturday, 26 May 2018 23:18 (five years ago) link
really enjoyed 'evil genius' -- not sure how I didn''t remember this case

I watched Ibiza. I was surprised that it was goofier than expected (omg that jizz scene). And Rob Stark is in it!!!
― Yerac, Sunday, 27 May 2018 17:14 (five years ago) link
michelle wolf's show is a good start, the amazon sketch was dreadful though
― karl wallogina (Autumn Almanac), Sunday, 27 May 2018 21:04 (five years ago) link
Ohhhh, thank you for reminding me that it's on.
― Yerac, Sunday, 27 May 2018 22:08 (five years ago) link
Just watched. I think once they get the obvious things out of the way it will settle into something good. There were definite lol moments in her opening stand up.
― Yerac, Sunday, 27 May 2018 23:59 (five years ago) link
I just watched that jared leto is a throat stabbing mannequin movie Outsider. Don't watch it.

I gave Champions two episodes because I am a Mindy Project fan, but it is not good.

Finally relunctantly watched Atypical, (it's been on our queue forever). Finished it in two days. VG+

I need something I can watch tonight and just hit "next episode" on as I fold laundry and organize things. What should I watch??

Halt and catch fire. Laundry for the first five episodes then regular for the rest.

Has anyone watched the Hannah Gadsby - Nanette special? Kinda emotionally devastating
― Nhex, Wednesday, 20 June 2018 10:06 (five years ago) link
i heard her on NPR and thought "i don't really want to listen to anyone yelling, even if I agree with them". but maybe it's good.
― akm, Wednesday, 20 June 2018 16:46 (five years ago) link
it is good, but that's fair. it does become a full-on lecture at a certain point

Not on Netflix, but we just started Killing Eve. Props to everyone who recommended it. This is soooo good.
― Yerac, Thursday, 21 June 2018 13:59 (five years ago) link
yeah it's great and weird and at times highly implausible but never anything less than flamboyantly entertaining

I'm re-watching Arrested Development from the beginning and I love Portia De Rossi but the change in her face between season 3 and 4 is incredibly jarring when you don't have the luxury of 6 years in between episodes. Why did you ruin your beautiful face, Portia :(
― Right column Leftist (sunny successor), Thursday, 21 June 2018 14:37 (five years ago) link
xpost, yeah Phoebe WB. It was immediately addictive. Sandra Oh is so great to watch.
― Yerac, Thursday, 21 June 2018 14:44 (five years ago) link
Like a lot of crime shows are such a chore, this one is highly entertaining right off and good music.
― Yerac, Thursday, 21 June 2018 14:45 (five years ago) link
"Why did you ruin your beautiful face, Portia :("
probably because if she had done nothing people would have responded too? like... cmon man
